Lyrics:

[English]

I'm making a statement of my own opinion

Just a brief little reminder to help myself remember

I no longer live in your dominion (no, no, no, ooh)

You're just trifling, nothing more than a liability

Gotta lay all your possessions

Outside the kitchen window right now

Letting go, letting go ain't easy

Oh, it's just exceedingly hurtful

'Cause somebody you used to know

Is flinging your world around

And they watch, as you're falling down, down, down

Falling down, baby

Evidently your words were merely lies

Reverberating in my ears

And the echo won't subside

There's a deep deep loss of hope

And the anger burns in me

I hope you don't get no ideas 'bout re-uniting baby

'Cause that's the last thing I truly need

Your audacity is too much to be believed, so

Go to MiMi on your contacts, press delete

Letting go ain't easy

Oh, it's just exceedingly hurtful

'Cause somebody you used to know

Is flinging your world around

And they watch, as you're falling down, down

Down, down

Baby letting go, baby letting go

Ain't easy, ain't easy

Baby letting go, baby letting go (woah)

Ain't easy, ain't easy

Baby letting go, it ain't easy

'Cause somebody you used to know

Is flinging your world around

And you know what?

They watch as you're falling, as you're falling

Down, fall

It ain't easy baby
